Directions

  1. Prep the Salmon: Season the fillets with salt and pepper. In a skillet with oil over medium-high heat, cook the salmon skin-side down until golden and crisp. Flip and finish cooking to your preference. Transfer to a plate and let it rest.
  2. Slice and Dice: While the salmon is cooking, slice the avocado and cucumber, dice the bell pepper, chop the cilantro, and thinly slice the onion. Boil the edamame if they’re from the freezer aisle.
  3. Assemble the Bowls: Lay down a bed of fluffy rice in each bowl. Top with the salmon fillet and arrange the avocado, cucumber, bell pepper, cilantro, onion, and edamame aesthetically around it.
  4. The Final Drizzle: Now for the fun part! Drizzle with soy sauce and sriracha to suit your flavor threshold. Sprinkle sesame seeds for a crunchy finish.
  5. Serve and Savor: Dig in immediately and enjoy the medley of flavors!
